Hello.

What Julia package can I use to easily do meta-analysis?

Till now I’ve been using some R packages such as metafor or metagen.

As far as I can tell, there are no packages for meta-analysis. I checked [github](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=meta-analysis+language%3AJulia&type=Repositories&ref=advsearch&l=Julia&l=) and [Julia Statistics](https://github.com/JuliaStats). I’m not sure if there are currently any plans for developing such a package.

Professor Arindam Basu is developing [MetaAnalysis.jl](https://github.com/arinbasu/MetaAnalysis.jl). He is also coming from an R background, so I think his intent is to replicate most features from packages like those. He spoke about its current features at JuliaCon 2023. A link to his presentation is [here](https://live.juliacon.org/talk/7SUERE) (his talk starts around the 8:04 mark).
